Only recently on 20/20 TV it has been
revealed a former priest, whoseabuse begin at age
11 as a sixth grader, by other priests and later by abishop,
has come forward with his story.

I am sure many Catholics feel as
though they are being severelypersecuted by the
media; however, the mainline media only seems tomention
these "Sins of the Fathers", as the 20/20 special was named,when
another young man comes forward and they are forced to report itagain.

When evangelists Jimmy Swaggart and
Jim Bakker were caught in their"consenting
adults" indiscretions, the media seemed to enjoy showingthese
clips over and over again.

EXCUSE MAKING

The difference in these incidents,
however, is that Swaggart and Bakkerwere broken
and repentant before TV audiences whereas the bishop on the20/20
program arrogantly proclaimed what he did was "misguided
therapy"and only touching took place, to
which his victim commented, "Full bodycontact,
naked, stimulation, one body on top of the other is onlytouching?
All bunk."

When we read about King Saul in the
bible, there are several practicallessons we can
learn from his tragic life and death. Great sins oftenbegin
as little matters, such as impatience, disobedience and excusemaking.
A man goes from bad to worse when sin gets hold of him. Excusesare
no substitute for confession and there is no substitute forobedience.
I Cor. 10;12 tells us: "Wherefore let him that thinketh hestandeth
take heed lest he fall.."

School teacher Mary Kay Letourneau was
diagnosed by the "experts" asbeing
bipolar, hippomania with metabolic imbalance and mood disorders.Never
once was she told she had sinned and needed to repent.

And now NewsMax.com is reporting that
angry feminist Gloria Steinem isaccusing 'white
male dominance' [read
article] for causing the Catholic church scandal, Hitlerand
even 9-11 never stopping to realize the feminist movement, whichpromotes
lesbianism, is part of the problem too. More excuses.

And what excuses do we hear from our
elected officials who promisecertain things in
the voters' pamphlets and when elected take aconstitutional
oath and then vote exactly the opposite? They say theyare
"only human."

A school principal in our town was
recently arrested on D.U.I. chargesplus spousal
abuse. Some of his colleagues have come out opposing hispossible
firing making similar excuses for him. And yet he, like thepriests,
have young children looking up to them. They must set a goodexample
and not make excuses.

VAGUELY WRITTEN LAWS

Many state statutes now allow young
people to bring charges againsttheir perpetrators
years after the abuse took place.

It will be interesting to see if any
of these priests or bishops spendtime in prison
for their abuse of young boys as so many innocent peoplehave
served under false sexual abuse charges caused by vaguely writtenlaws
by elected officials.

One of the most hideous laws is
allowing unconstitutional "hearsay"evidence
into a trial when the constitution clearly states (at least inmy
state) that every defendant has a right to face his or her accuser.The
lawyer that introduced this legislation in our state and got itpassed
is now running for Governor and because he's pro-life, allpro-lifers
will support him -- no questions asked.

THE WORD
"HOMOSEXUAL" AVOIDED

But it isn't so much what we are
reading in the newspapers and seeing onthe TV
about these abuse cases, it's the fact that the word "homosexual"is rarely, if ever, used.

Recently we saw the movie about the
Matthew Shepard story. Thecircumstances
surrounding Matthew's murder were atrocious. No personshould
have to go through what the perpetrators did to Matthew; however,during
that same time frame of the Shepard murder, a small boy wasalso
abused and killed by two homosexuals and not one word in the mediaoutside
of the area where it took place. Will there be a movie aboutthis
little guy?

Could it be because bibles being used
in today's lukewarm churches aresoft on
homosexuality, always a precursor to pedophilia which thehomosexuality
community hopes to make acceptable after they gainfavorable
status for homosexuals? (See: Another Patriot Jailed link)

In her book WHICH BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD,
(c) 1994, by Gail Riplinger, shedescribes in
detail on page 67-68 why the New International Version(N.I.V.)
omits all censuring of the sodomite or effeminate. Riplingersays
Dr. Virginia Mollenkott was a N.I.V. translator. So when you putthe
fox in charge of the chicken house, the chicks get abused.

Dr. Virginia Mollenkott wrote the book
SENSUOUS SPIRITUALITY in whichshe mentions the
"great number of lesbian or gay clergy" who haveconfided
in her "secretly". She readily admits:

1.
Her "homosexuality" (p. 12, et al)

2.
Her views about "working secretly within the system." (P. 48)

3.
Her belief in "lying...deviousness, and downright subversiveness...Subversion means a systematic attempt to overthrow or
undermine... "

(pp.
47-48)

Riplinger then asks, is it any wonder
that the particulars of homosexualsins are
omitted by a version that employed a closet homosexual stylist?

In the February 1994 publication of
CHRISTIAN AMERICAN, Dr. Mollenkottcalls the God
of the Judeo-Christian tradition an "abusive parent" andsays
she can no longer worship in a theological context that depicts Godas
an abusive parent and Jesus as the obedient trusting child."

One of the Catholic fathers in the
20/20 TV program asked his victim ifhe kisses his
father. He admitted he kisses both his father and hismother
goodnight. Then the priest asked, "Would you like to kiss Jesus?"

We must pray for the fallen and
disgraced priests that they repent ofthese vile
sins against vulnerable boys which so many Catholic parentsso
trustingly place with church leaders.

We all remember the story about David.
In I Sam. 16 David was eventuallyanointed as
king. In verse seven it says the Lord seeth not as manseeth;
for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord lookethon
the heart so truly homosexual repentant priests are as redeemable inGod's
eyes as Swaggart and Bakker and millions of others who have falleninto
Satan's trap of some sexual sin.

However, James 2:10 says if we break
one commandment, we are guilty ofall which makes
us all sinners because we all break the Ten Commandmentson
a daily basis almost. We are unable to save ourselves. Only true love, belief
and understanding of Jesussaves.

RESURRECTION SUNDAY
(EASTER)

Resurrection Sunday is as good a time
as any for us to check the beam inour own eye
before criticizing the mote in the eye of another. (Matt:7:3)
Our country is not under attack because of 'male dominance' butbecause
of sexual immorality. God has simply removed his veil ofprotection
from America and has allowed Satan to go around like aroaring
lion devouring all those he can. Wherever the authority ofscripture
is removed, chaos soon follows and judgment appears at thedoor.

ED. Note: Have any of those
homosexual, pedophile priests across America accused of molesting children
been prosecuted? No, and if my intuition is right they won't be. Scribes and Pharisees
(Political and Religious Leaders) protect each other. Common people
commit crimes, Scribes and Pharisees make mistakes.
